13 Halloween costumes that will delight fellow TV nerds

Spoiler alert, folks: There's going to be a lot of Star Wars costumes at that party you go to this weekend. And who can blame these poor stumped souls? It's topical, easy, iconic, etc. — an overall solid choice.

But if you're looking to really mix things up this year, look no further than some of TV's most memorable moments of the last year.

From a dearly departed on Game of Thrones, to The Walking Dead's most terrifying character, to a memorable sketch involving the biggest glass of wine you've ever seen, these costumes will truly bring joy to the fellow TV nerds in your life.

Everyone else — especially those who may bemoan the spoilery quality of some of these costumes — can bugger off. (What are they doing at a Halloween party anyway? They should be at home catching up on TV.)

I have no sympathy for TV slackers. That said, spoiler alert...

'Shame' nun from Game of Thrones

Key pieces: A robe, matching head cover and a bell (not pictured)

For extra credit: Chop off the hair from a blond Barbie doll and label it "Cersei." (Bonus points to anyone who already has a short-haired Barbie on hand because you were a weird child who liked to play barber shop with Barbie. Anyone...?)
